A vehicle front structure includes: a pair of left and right front pillars; a front wall portion provided between the pair of left and right front pillars and forming a front end of the vehicle interior; a lower wall portion extending rearward from a lower end of the front wall portion; a tunnel member formed at a middle portion of the lower wall portion in a vehicle width direction and having an upward convex shape; and a reinforcing portion laminated on and fixed to the front wall portion or the front wall portion and the lower wall portion, in which the reinforcing portion is provided so as to be inclined downward from the front pillar toward the tunnel member and forms a thick plate portion in collaboration with the front wall portion or the front wall portion and the lower wall portion.

Front structure for an electric vehicle including a lower dash panel, a seat cross-member and a tunnel nose, such that the tunnel nose is designed to absorb energy in its front portion while resisting intrusion in its rear portion, optimizing the energy absorption in the part during a front crash and protecting the battery pack from being breached by the downward pushing effect of the lower dash panel.

A body for a vehicle configured for securing safety performance and vehicle rigidity according to a vehicle collision while increasing a battery capacity mounted in the vehicle, may include an internal side member mounted on a center floor in a longitudinal direction of the body; a battery cross member mounted in a width direction of the body inside a battery case provided at a lower end portion of the center floor while intersecting the internal side member; and a coupling structure coupled to the battery case, the battery cross member, and the center floor.

A vehicle includes a steering column connected to a steering wheel, a column cover that covers the steering column, and an air duct that is disposed inside an instrument panel and passes in front of the column cover. Buckling strength of the air duct in a vehicle body front-rear direction in front of the steering wheel is lower than buckling strength of the column cover in the vehicle body front-rear direction.

A vehicle instrument panel structure is provided including a blower outlet and a guide member. The blower outlet is provided between a meter section on an instrument panel provided at a front section of a vehicle cabin and an interior member of a vehicle door, and is capable of blowing an airflow substantially toward a vehicle rear side. The guide member is provided at the vehicle rear side of the blower outlet so as to block the blower outlet from view of an occupant sitting in a vehicle seat provided inside the vehicle cabin, and extends at an angle toward the vehicle rear side on progression from a location corresponding to the blower outlet toward a vehicle width direction outer side.

An embodiment vehicle load distribution system includes a dash crossmember, a pair of front side members extending from the dash crossmember toward a front of a vehicle, and a pair of rear lower members extending from the dash crossmember toward a rear of the vehicle, wherein a front end of each rear lower member is aligned with a rear end of a corresponding front side member.

A structure of a vehicle disclosed herein may include: a windshield; an instrument panel located below the windshield; in-vehicle equipment disposed such that the in-vehicle equipment projects upward above an upper surface of the instrument panel and is fixed to the instrument panel; and an impact relieving mechanism configured to, when a rearward and downward collision load is applied to the in-vehicle equipment, relieve the collision load by moving the in-vehicle equipment rearward and downward.

An instrument panel includes an instrument panel body fixed to a vehicle body, and a cover that covers a space of the instrument panel body from a rear in a front-rear direction of a vehicle and faces an occupant in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The instrument panel body includes a harness holder configured to hold a wire harness arranged in a vehicle width direction. The harness holder extends along the vehicle width direction in the space of the instrument panel body, and includes a fragile portion provided in at least one position in a longitudinal direction of the harness holder. A sectional area of the fragile portion is smaller than a sectional area of the other portion of the harness holder.
